Grocer Heath, Grocer Heath
Hide away those awful teeth
Oh no nooo

Grocer Heath, tell the truth
Is it true that you're a loo

(Private Eye Christmas record, c.1970)

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Thanks for that ... I'll have that dismal dirge in my head all bloody day now.

 

[Globalti]

Jeeze.... that must have been around 1965?

Calm down, it's only an excerpt...

Well, I'm not clicking on that link. Having it in my head is bad enough, but actually hearing it, twee children's choir and everything ...

Dreadful old tosh - I'd rather listen to the St Winifreds School Choir...oh, hang on!

No, I think I would.

 

[Paulus]

Dreadful old tosh - I'd rather listen to the St Winifreds School Choir...oh, hang on!

No, I think I would.

Would you rather listen to Grandad by Clive Dunn??

Keith West also sang for Tomorrow who recorded My White Planet X (later covered by Nazareth).

Even Art Garfunkel's Woyaya was better than Grocer Jack.

Furry nuff.

But that's awful, whils 'excerpts' is a great song IMO.








(hopes somebody gets the slightly clever pun here)

 

[Over The Hill]

It has been rattling around in my head today since its airing on R2 this morning.

OK it is cheesy crap in one way but you have to take your hat off to him for making a pop song about an old bloke who delivers groceries and dies! Takes a bit of guts to go with that for a song.

Also finding a rhyme for breakfast tables - marmalade labels! Just brill.
